Document Summary

Acids (hydrogen + a second element/ion, usually a halogen, or hydrogen + oxygen-containing polyatomic ion): An intramolecular force is a force within a molecule (or element in the case of a metal) - a chemical bond. The ions pack together as closely as possible. The properties of ionic compounds, such as state outlined above, are due to the structure (or type of bonding). Made up of positive and negative ions, held together by electrostatic forces. Each ion is surrounded by neighbours of opposite charge. No separate molecules, rather ratios of charge (this is why chemical formulas for ionic compounds are reduced to lowest terms) Hard and rigid b/c ions are not easily moved from lattice. Brittle, shatter easily (this is due to the shifting of opposite to adjacency of like charge after a force is applied, and the subsequent repulsion of like charge or breaking apart) (see figure 2)
